Good tank mates
A calm, slow-moving fish that does best with other peaceful reef community species like firefish, small gobies, royal grammas, and ocellaris clownfish. They can be kept singly, as a bonded pair, or in a group, though loose groups sometimes squabble over territory as they mature, so give them space and structure. Avoid fast, boisterous tankmates that out-compete them at feeding time and large predators that view them as a meal.
